Another shambles, 95 mins without a shot on target, what is matter with this manager, he plays this 4-4-1-1, and after losing Onarise 4-4-1, resulting in the bloody ball coming back into our half every time anyone tried to move forward, this management are taking up out of the football league without any doubt, they are clueless. Young Pugh should not only have been brought on, he should have been selected from the off, how the hell Green ever get selected is beyond me, he is not even National League standard, he cannot control a ball, he cannot pass a ball, and if pathetic at shooting, and wastes the ball all the time, that does not leave much else does it.

My Rating marks for today as could be seen on the I-Follower showing of the match:-

WATSON—7—Did ok and no fault with the goals, made a few good stops.
DAVIS—6—Not too safe in defending and had his part in both goals.
WOOD—7—Played well first half and had him down for an 8, dropped off a bit 2nd half.
TAFT—7—OK, without being outstanding, did not last the game out.
BEESTIN—8—About our best player in a very moderate team.
THOMPSON—6—Plodded away and got in a few saving tackles.
ONARASIE—4—Red carded early which made things difficult for our poor team.
ROWE—6—Did not stand out for his effort, bit of a fringe player at best.
HACKNEY—5—Not the best of cebut games, nothing stood out for me.
JARVIS–5—Trotted about a lot, but this 4-4-1-1 is not a winning system.
GREEN—4—Fast, but has no football skills what so ever, should never start a game.

SUBS Did not make things a lot better, and once again never had a shot on target.

COX—4—Clueless as usual, subs were one for one with the team never threatening, Pugh should have started, and one of the centre forwards that sat on the bench, Green should never be considered for starting any match, but Cox sees things differently.

Now gone 17 matches with just the one win, that being the Tranmere game when we were awarded a penalty which wasn’t ever one. But Mr Cox is still the manager, and it appears that he still gets the backing of some long term forum fans, I wonder if they will still be giving it the old Neil this and Neil that when we go into the National League, it will be interesting.

REF—7—Average ref, but even the Italian International Ref Golena could not polish a turd like this match. I wonder if we will be getting a club message from Mr Swann regarding the club, surely it was not Covid or the 331 die hards fault for another inept defeat, surely at some point it must point to club management!!!
